Vital Southampton POTM

Vital Southampton can proudly reveal that October's Player Of The Month is once again Chris Baird. The defensive rock has won the award for the second time this season, having previously won the accolade in August.

Baird has impressed with a series of solid performances, particularly against Wolves on Wednesday of last week.

In second place was attacking midfield man Inigo Idikez, who was lucky not to score against Hull City.

In Third place was under fire goalkeeper Kelvin Davis. Davis had come in for critisism after a howler at home against QPR. His placing in this month's Player Of The Month will come as a surprise boost for the keeper who had taken some abuse from his own fans in recent matches.
